Purpose: To raise awareness of actions (votes, calls for information, etc.)

Remaining items for v5.2 Committee Spec
Proposed an optional attribute of  namespace (or ns or nsref)  to all the syntactic elements (the new ones as well as the existing ones like variable and constant) including namespace, since namespaces can  contain other namespaces.
The namespace attribute should point at an xml:id on a namespace element.
